You guys got me concerned, so I went out to the shop and decided to check my rear head pipe since I am leaving for Mexico on the 9th. Guess what??
found me a crack at the mounting bracket with my ultra-violet light. Thanks to all the info on here, I called customer service at Bub, and spoke to Karen (I think) and she is sending me a rear header and the mount bracket at no charge. She will not have it here before I go, but she suggested using a pipe clamp to cut down on the vibration, and making the crack worse. I was able to put it around the head pipe, under the heat shield, and around the welded part of the bracket. After snugging it down real tight, it seems to be a good temporary fix. Took about 15 minutes, and I am on the road in 2 days. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] If I had called Harley, and tried to get them to resolve it, it would have been bounced around for ever, like they did when I returned my Corbin seat after I had it one day. That took almost 3 months to resolve going through the dealer. (I have a post on here somewhere called (corbin seat issues) But that's another story. The point is, there is alot to be gained by using this site, we learn about how to solve problems in spite of the MoCo, such as the great customer service with Hogtunes, and now Bub. So let's keep on communicating the experiences we are having both good and bad
I also think we should have a post that we can go to and list all the contacts we have made, with phone numbers, e-mail addresses etc. It certainly would help to have a directory of contacts when we have problems, or want to order something. What about it Mr. Moderator?? [smiley=banana.gif]
